In just a few minutes on Thursday's edition of 'Hardball' on MSNBC, host Chris Matthews compared President Trump and his family to Saddam Hussein and his sons, the Ethiopian dictator Mengistu Haile Mariam, Italian fascist Benito Mussolini, and the deposed Russian royal family, the Romanovs.

Matthews wondered about the Trumps: "Is it a royal family instead of a Democratic or a Republican form of government? Or is it a family running the government? Is it Ivanka and Jared and the President sitting around in the White House upstairs ruling the world?"

“So the son-in-law — you know, one good thing Mussolini did was execute his son-in-law. I mean, I’m talking about Ciano,” he happily remembered.

This morning he appeared on Fox Business to discuss the Russian interference, allegations of collusion with Trump campaign and more with host Maria Bartiromo in what became a testy debate that perfectly exemplifies the divided positions that so many Americans hold right now.

Bartiromo, a long-time New York financial news figure has had something of a close relationship with Donald Trump for years, so it’s not a surprise that she consistently showed skepticism over the Russia claims in a defensive posture. And there may be no other individual (without the Clinton surname) that best embodies the Clinton’s web of influence — for good and bad — than Mr. Podesta.

Bartiromo aggressively attacked Podesta and Democrats for what she said were deeper ties with Russia, specifically asking about Podesta’s investment portfolio.

This fat nobody, Jerry "the capo" Nadler, is again stabbing the backs of Holocaust survivors that are his constituents.

This "Murderer Loving" Congressman ignored the lives and safety of over 6 million Jews living in the State of Israel by supporting the sick Iran deal , handing over nuclear weapons to the Iran Terrorist regime.

Now, he wants to changes the Kotel status quo of having separate prayer services at the Kotel , a rule respected by the entire gentile world, except for some fat "bacon fressers" ladies that come to the Kotel on Rosh Chodash only.

The Reform movement is outraged that the Kotel is in frum hands. The Reform movement had taken the words, "Zion" and "Jerusalem" out of their prayer books, and only recently re-instated them to stop the bleeding of their 88% assimilation rate. Who can forget when they refused to make appeals for Israel Bonds in their shuls during the 1967 war.

People should call his office and tell him to keep his fat butt out of the internal affairs of the sovereign country of Israel.

Rep. Jerrold Nadler, a New York Democrat who represents the most heavily Jewish district in the nation, has been bombarded by angry calls over the Israeli government’s decision not to create an egalitarian prayer space at Jerusalem’s Western Wall.

“People are outraged,” Nadler said. “This is a direct declaration by the government of Israel that non-Orthodox Jews in Israel and in the United States are irrelevant. It’s a total insult to the entire community. The message is basically, ‘we don’t care about you.’”

According to Nadler, the decision is most disturbing because, “the angriest phone calls I’ve received are from the people who care most about Israel and are most involved in advocacy.”

The Western Wall issue, Nadler says, has been raised in many conversations by Jewish-American lawmakers and their Israeli counterparts.

“This is about how the Israeli government regards the majority of American Jews,” he said. “It’s hard to think of a more harmful thing they could have done.”

The damage, he warns, is real - and it could intensify worrying trends that are already visible when it comes to support for Israel among young American Jews.

We are saddened beyond words by the arrests of seven couples in our town. As firm believers in the principle of ‘innocent until proven guilty,’ we suspend judgment until the disposition of these charges, and are comforted knowing that our judicial system is an able arbiter of justice.

Regardless of the outcomes of these cases, we have, in our view, a valuable teaching moment that cannot be wasted.

There is no such a thing as “justified” theft. Federal and State social safety-net programs are meant for those in need, even those in need have rules and criteria that must be strictly followed. To deliberately bend a safety-net eligibility rule is stealing, no different than stealing from your friend or neighbor.

We would all do well to redouble and triple our efforts in our communities, reminding each and every one of us that there is never any excuse for dishonesty in any form. Let us take this moment to speak openly of these matters, from the pulpit, in the classroom, and by parents at the dinner table, so that this tragic but necessary learning moment is not lost.

In the days ahead we will help launch a set of intensive educational programs that can ensure that such does not happen again, and will invite the public to participate in these timely programs.

Six more people were arrested in Lakewood late Tuesday as part of an ongoing government fraud investigation.

The individuals arrested Tuesday by the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office are accused of defrauding government Medicaid and government assistance programs, including those for Superstorm Sandy benefits. In all, they’re accused of fraud amounting to nearly $700,000.

Ocean County Prosecutor Joseph Coronato said the investigation by his office found the six failed to report income they received from “numerous sources” that would make them ineligible for aid. Instead, they misrepresented their incomes and submitted amounts that made them qualify for the respective program’s benefits, he said.

The arrests included:

• Yitzchock Kanarek, 33, and Sora Kanarek, 39 of Brisk Lane: Charged with second-degree theft by deception for allegedly wrongfully collecting approximately $339,002.56 in Medicaid, SNAP, HUD, and SSI benefits between January 2009 and July 2014.

• Chaim Ehrman, 40, and Liatt Ehrman, 39, of Twin Oaks Drive: Charged with second- degree theft by deception for allegedly wrongfully collecting approximately $185,692.22 in Medicaid, SNAP, HEAP, and Sandy benefits between January 2011 and December 2015

• William Friedman, 45, and Faigy Friedman, 40, of Leigh Drive: Charged with second-degree theft by deception for allegedly wrongfully collecting approximately $149,842.28 in Medicaid, SNAP, HEAP, and HUD benefits between January 2011 and December 2015.

The defendants will appear in Ocean County Superior Court at 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday.

The investigation, which initially included the prosecutor’s office, FBI and the the New Jersey Office of the State Comptroller’s Medicaid Fraud Division, has expanded to include to include the US Social Security Administration, New Jersey Department of the Treasury’s Office of Criminal Investigation, and the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office’s Economic Crimes Unit.

Coronato expects further arrests and may add other charges could be added.

The arrests came two days after eight people, including Rabbi Zalmen Sorotzkin and his wife, Tzipporah, were arrested early Monday morning on federal and state charges.

Collectively, they’re accused of receiving several hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of food, housing, and medical benefits despite income levels that would disqualify them from the various programs. Some of those arrested had $1 million-plus incomes, authorities have said.

One day after four Lakewood couples were arrested for fraudulently underreporting their incomes in order to illegally take advantage of more than $1 million in state and federal benefits, township phones have been ringing off the hook, with hundreds of area residents requesting advice on how to avoid being arrested for public assistance fraud.

The investigation was initiated by the FBI and the New Jersey Office of the State Comptroller, later growing to include the Social Security Administration, the New Jersey Department of Treasury and the Ocean County Prosecutor’s Office.

More arrests are expected to take place, possibly as soon as early Wednesday morning, reported NJ.comhttp://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2017/06/more_arrests_coming_in_lakewood_di_ionno.html

Complaints in the impending arrests involve fraudulent activity that has been taking place for as long as five years and Monday’s arrests appear to be just the tip of the iceberg.

“We are sending a message to this community that the party is over,” said one law enforcement source.

According to the Asbury Park Press (http://on.app.com/2tVVsyG), a law enforcement source who agreed to speak only on the condition of anonymity said that dozens of people have called the Ocean County Social Services office asking to discontinue their public assistance benefits or to revise the income information they had previously submitted.

Millions of dollars in public assistance have allegedly been fraudulently distributed in the Lakewood area, said the source.According to authorities, the investigation into financial irregularities in Lakewood has been ongoing for three years.

Lakewood Mayor Ray Coles said that he was disturbed by the recent arrests and that there are many people in the town who are truly in need of financial assistance.

“I have a waiting list of Section 8 vouchers of maybe 2,000 families that really need it,” said Coles. “I hate to see things like that.”

The following is an open letter that appeared in Charedie Newspapers in Eretz Yisroel addressed to the Lakewood Roshei Yeshiva and Satmar Askanim that recently protested at Barclay Center in Brooklyn, about a total false narrative about IDF recruiting Yeshiva boys .... a total fabrication and a figment of the imagination of the Litvishe "Gedoilim" ...even R' Aron Schecter, Rosh Yeshivah of Chaim Berlin attended this "community of leitzem and Baalei Loshon Hara on Eretz Yisroel" on Parshas Shlach no less!

One can peruse Facebook and see that those who haveunfortunately left the frum community in the United States, is now an OTD community that does not stop growing

There has been a number of tragic and shocking deaths amongst those who are OTD

These shocking cases are the direct result of a continuing failure by American Askanim in the treatment of youth dropping out of Charedie communities in the US, a phenomenon that is expanding

Today, we see published pictures of Charedim in the town of Lakewood, who were arrested on suspicion of falsifying documents and fraudulently removing funds from government offices

Some of the detainees are relatives of a very large Torah personality in Klall Yisroel. According to reports, this phenomenon is very widespread

These same Rabbies criticise and ridicule the Israeli

Gedoilim regarding the law of conscription in Israel

It was also claimed at the despicable anti-IDF Barcley rally that the great rabbis of Israel are partners in recruiting yeshiva students

A certain newspaper in the United States, even published names and pictures and the addresses of the greatest Torah scholars in Israel, and asked the readers to send letters to harass them

It is easy for them to make meetings, assemblies, and protests and complain about the problems in Eretz Yisroel

But the same American activists, if they care about the Orthodox public, should take care of themselves first

First fix the problems overseas, rather than looking for problems that do not exist here

Please Chutzpadika US activists

Do not interfere with what is happening here in the ultra-Orthodox community. They have been busy with the jungle of thousands of American dropouts who are in a difficult situation even without any danger of being drafted. Fix your institutions, keep crooks away, and criminals. Educate and protect your youth. This is your true duty.

Police charged a Spring Valley man with several counts of assault and reckless endangerment after he struck a mother and her three children as they walked along the shoulder of Route 59 in Monsey Monday afternoon.

Albert Gomez, 62, was sent to the Rockland County Jail in lieu of $150,000 bail.

The 38-year-old mother, a 13-year-old daughter, nine-year-old daughter and three-month-old son in a stroller, were struck by the vehicle at around 2:47 p.m. All of the injured were treated at the scene by Hatzolah Ambulance and transported to Westchester Medical Center.

Gomez, who was alone in his car, was charged with four counts of assault, four counts of reckless endangerment and one count of reckless driving. Additional charges may be pending, police said.

Anyone who may have witnessed the accident is asked to call Ramapo Town Police at 845-357-2400.

A stretch of Route 59 in Monsey is shut in both directions after three pedestrians were struck by a car on Monday afternoon, authorities said.

Although limited information was available, police said one of the victims was an infant and one was a small child. Police could not comment on the seriousness of the injuries, but said the children, along with one adult, have been taken to area hospitals for treatment.

Ramapo Police Sgt. Brian Corbett said the pedestrians were hit by a Toyota Corolla travelling west on Route 59 just before 3 p.m. by the Town Square Mall.

The infant was in a stroller, according to police.

No charges have been filed as the accident remains under investigation, Corbett said.

Since Route 59 between Route 306 and Kennedy Drive will be closed for the next several hours while authorities investigate what happened, Corbett urged drivers to avoid the area and seek alternate routes.

At the scene of the accident, Rockland County Legislator Aron Wieder renewed his call for more measures to be taken to enhance pedestrian safety in the area.

Wieder also tweeted, "Busiest Rd in Rockland. No sidewalks! Where are our State Representatives?"

A Facebook post allegedly written by a Nyack Hospital nurse at blasting Chasidic women for their lifestyle choices has sparked outrage in Rockland County’s Jewish community, many of whom patronize the nearby medical facility.

According to a News 12 report (http://bit.ly/2rXQO6g), Deborah Rosario wrote the post on Wednesday complaining that Chasidic women stay home to raise their large families while she and others have to work two jobs to make ends meet.

“They hide behind their religion!” posted Rosario. “I’m tired of my tax dollars paying for their 13 children!!!! I’m working 2 jobs while these pregnant beauties are shopping at lord and Taylor!!! When will it end?”

Rosario, who began the post on her personal Facebook page by saying that she was voicing opinions that others might be afraid to articulate, finished off with a call to action, urging Rockland County residents to “wake up.”

Yossi Gestetner, head of the Orthodox Jewish Public Affairs Council, said that he was tipped off to the post by a member of the Jewish community.

Gestetner posted the content of Rosario’s post on Twitter and was contacted a short time later by officials at the hospital who arranged a Thursday morning meeting between Gestetner, Nyack Hospital CEO Dr. Mark Geller and the hospital’s chairman of the board Richard Kohlhausen.

Gestetner said that the mere fact that the hospital arranged the high level meeting so quickly indicated the facility’s commitment to treating all patients equally and its zero tolerance policy on discrimination.

“If someone wants to be a bigot that’s life but for a registered nurse at a hospital that services Orthodox and Chasidic people to say things like that gets people unnerved,” Gestetner told VIN News. “It is against the code of conduct for members of the medical profession to disparage anyone based on their race, ethnicity, religion and so forth.”

An official statement released by Nyack Hospital said that the facility prides itself on offering the highest level of care to every patient and is continuing an internal investigation into the incident.

“We are appalled by the Facebook post, which in no way reflects our ideas and care delivered each day,” read the statement.

Lauren Malone, director of public relations at the hospital, said that she could not comment on what kind of consequences Rosario might be facing.

Rabbi Berel Wein is a noted scholar, historian, speaker and educator, admired the world over for his audio tapes/CDs, videos and books, particularly on Jewish history.

Ideologies and long-held beliefs die hard, even when they have long been surpassed by events and circumstances. Those who believed in them and promulgated them find it difficult, if not impossible, to adjust to the reality of the current actual situation. There are many examples of this present in today's world.

There still are anarchists and Marxists in academia and in other influential positions. The events of the past century are ignored by them and they continue to hold onto the fantasy of some sort of perfect world built upon utopian Marxist philosophy. Ignoring facts is often a bad habit that affects the intelligentsia and elite amongst us.

After twenty years, a strong case can be made that the Oslo agreements were not such a good idea after all. An even stronger case can be made regarding the withdrawal from Gaza, which was a really very bad idea. Yet the ideologues who foisted these very questionable policies upon us stubbornly refuse to admit that perhaps they were mistaken. Those who desire an illusory peace at almost any price still abound and gain great media coverage while continuing to promote ideas that have long since become irrelevant and really unimportant.

But in the world of the doctrinaire Left (and the doctrinaire Right as well,) once a believer will always remain a believer. The recycling of past ideas and policies that have been proven by events to have been mistaken, only serves to prevent the creation of new ideas and new policies that perhaps could help further the current welfare of our country and the world at large.

In the United States we are witness to the fact that the Democratic Party simply cannot accept the fact that it was defeated in the last presidential election. Mrs. Clinton continues to campaign and to blame her defeat upon everyone besides herself. Time and effort are being spent on issues that are not relevant to the welfare and future of the United States but rather, are purely political in nature and partisan in their presentation.

Donald Trump was not elected by Vladimir Putin. He was elected by the disgruntled voters of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio and Florida. Recognizing this and internalizing these results will allow the Democrats to move forward and be a constructive force in the American political process. But the idea that Mrs. Clinton was entitled to win and should have won dies very hard.

Events must somehow be wrong and reversible if they do not fit into the preconceived notions of the pundits and experts. After all, how can it be that all of the smart and beautiful people amongst us should been mistaken on such an important issue as electing a president of the United States of America? The unwillingness to let go creates enormous problems for a country that is already beset with major difficulties. The public interest would seem to demand that the election results of November 2016 already be laid to rest. But the losers just can't let go.

There was a rally recently in Barclay Center in Brooklyn – it is the home arena of the Brooklyn Nets professional basketball team – regarding the drafting of haredim into the IDF. The rally was sponsored by certain extremist groups in the camp of Orthodox Jewry both in Israel and the United States. It costs a lot of money to lease the Barclay Center for such an event, but money is no object when religious ideology is being promoted.

The rally turned into an anti-Zionist forum and predictably became an anti-Israel gathering as well. The struggle of Zionism and the Jewish world was perhaps a valid and understandable one a century ago. It has no validity or reality in today's world. Opposing the Jewish state today is tantamount to opposing the survival and welfare of the Jewish people as a whole.

The mainstream of haredi Judaism here in Israel participates in the state, in its government and its political and social life. It is slowly undergoing a change that will eventually bring it into the economic cycle of Israeli society. Accompanying this is a small, gradual trickle of haredi participation in registering and accepting service in the IDF. This is a very complicated and sensitive issue and both sides are aware of the difficulties involved. Nevertheless, the issue is being addressed in different ways and mainly under the radar of public media.

Those who cannot relinquish the ideologies of a century ago and have made them religious principles, do themselves and the Jewish people as a whole a great disservice. They also have to learn to just let go.

Now that Georgia’s dramatic special election is over, it’s time for Jewish groups to fight over bragging rights.

The Republican Jewish Coalition, which backed GOP candidate Karen Handel to the tune of $50,000, celebrated the victory with a fundraising email blast urging supporters to donate now, because “as the GA-6 election showed, Republican turn-out is the key to winning in these hard-fought races.”

The group made a point of noting that Handel’s opponent, Democrat Jon Ossoff, “earned his support from J Street by backing the Iran deal and refusing to support the Taylor Force Act.” RJC board member Phil Rosen was clearer with his gloat over the dovish lobby’s loss, tweeting: “Most important for Israel - this was a resounding defeat of J Street which raised a chunk of the $26m Ossoff raised for this election.”

J Street PAC brought in $80,000 to Ossoff’s hefty war chest, and made clear it has no regrets about the money spent. The group’s vice president of communications Jessica Rosenblum, noting that he managed to erase a 20 point lead in his district while supporting the Iran deal, openness to refugees, and U.S. involvement in Middle East peacemaking.

In fact it’s not clear whether Jewish issues played much of a role in the vote and Jewish-linked fundraising groups made up a small fraction of the nearly $60 million spent.

When is this misery going to end?When will real Jews beat the hell out of these "Fake Jews?

It’s become a familiar, but despicable scene in Yerushalayim. Frum Soldiers are attacked just for being in the “Holy neighborhood of Meah Shearim / Geula”.

The latest incident happened on Wednesday evening at around 9:30PM at the Bais Yisroel Shteeblach which is frequented by thousands of people each day as Minyanim take place one after the other almost 24 hours a day.

Three Frum soldiers stopped into the Shul to Daven Maariv, and minutes after the Minyan began, a crowd gathered and began screaming at them. The crowd grew, and entered the Bais Medrash – screaming and cursing the Soldiers with the usual “Chardak”, “Nazi”, and other derogatory words used to insult Frum Soldiers.

Fearing for their lives, the soldiers phoned police who arrived minutes later to rescue them from the violent mob.

As can be expected, police were called “Shiksa”, “Nazis” etc when they entered the Shul to escort them out.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed legislation on Tuesday to ban child marriage in New York.

Now New Yorkers must be 18-years-old to marry, with the exception that 17-year-olds can wed if they have parental consent and court approval.

Since 1929, people as young as 14 could marry in New York State with parental consent.

“This is a major step forward in our efforts to protect children and prevent forced marriages,” Cuomo said. “I am proud to sign this legislation that puts an end to child marriage in New York once and for all.”

From 2000 through 2010, over 3,800 minors got married in New York. Child advocates say many of the children were forced or coerced.

Minors who marry are more likely to drop out of school, become victims of domestic violence, live in poverty and suffer health problems.

The Rebbe was flown to a hospital in Minnesota, where the surgery will take place.

The surgery is scheduled for 10:00AM ET.

Please say Tehillim for Dovid ben Trani.

The Skverer Rebbe has led his kehilla in New Square, NY since 1968.

New Square is the anglicized name of Skvira, a village in the Ukraine, where today’s Skverer Rebbe’s ancestors reigned. The New Square community in upstate New York was launched in 1957, when approximately 20 Skverer families moved from Williamsburg, Brooklyn, onto a 130-acre former farm in north Spring Valley, under the leadership of Rabbi Yaakov Yosef Twersky, zt’l (1899–1968), late Skverer Rebbe, who arrived in the United States in 1950. Before the end of its first year, almost 40 families resided in New Square. In 1961, New Square became the first village in New York State to be governed by a religious group. Over the years, incremental annexations of bordering properties have increased its size. New Square’s population, according to the 2000 census, impressively increased by 77.5% between 1990 and 2000. Since then, the shtetl’s growth has maintained that increase.

New Square’s success motivated other chassidish groups to plan and build their own versions of a chassidish community outside the maelstrom of America’s large cities. Notably, Kasho, Nitra, Pupa, Satmar, Tash, and Vizhnitz have established insulated chassidish communities away from big metropolitan areas.

The community in New Square, Spring Valley, is populated almost exclusively by Skverer chassidim, who wish to maintain a chassidish lifestyle insulated from outside secular influences. The village is substantially self-sustained with its own businesses and shopping areas, primary and secondary schools, schools of higher education, as well as community, religious, and charitable organizations.

The village is essentially one community with a large synagogue serving its entire population.

Rabbi Dovid Twersky, the current Skverer Rebbe, was born in 1940. In 1958, he married Rebbetzin Chana, born in 1943, eldest daughter of Rabbi Moshe Yehoshua Hager, zt’l (1917–2012), Bnei Brak Vizhnitzer Rebbe. Their offspring are: Rabbi Aaron Menachem Mendel Twersky, born in 1962, married in 1980 to Rebbetzin Chava Reizel, daughter of Rabbi Mordechai Hager, Monsey Vizhnitzer Rebbe; Rabbi Yitzchok Itzik Twersky, born in 1963, married in 1981 to Rebbetzin Malka, daughter of Rabbi Yisroel Hager and granddaughter of the late Bnei Brak Vizhnitzer Rebbe; Rebbetzin Hinda Twersky, married in 1982 to Rabbi Avrohom Yehoshua Heshel Twersky, son of Rabbi Chai Yitzchok Twersky, Rachmestrivka Rebbe in Boro Park; Rebbetzin Tzipora, born in 1965, married in 1983 to Rabbi Eliezer Goldman, son of Rabbi Yaakov Goldman, scion of the Zhviler chassidish dynasty; Rebbetzin Tzima Mirel, born in 1969, married in 1987 to Rabbi Yaakov Yosef Hager, son of Rabbi Yisroel Hager, Vizhnitzer Rav in Monsey; son of Rabbi Mordechai Hager, Monsey Vizhnitzer Rebbe (the Monsey Vizhnitzer Rebbe is both a brother-in-law and an uncle by marriage to the Skverer Rebbe); Rabbi Yaakov Yosef, born in 1973, married in 1992 to Rebbetzin Chana Yenty, daughter of Rabbi Yehshaye Twersky, Chernobler Rebbe in Boro Park; and Rabbi Chaim Meir, born in 1981, married in 2000 to Rebbetzin Rochel Dinah, daughter of Rabbi Zvi Elimelech Halberstam, Kiviashder Rebbe; son of Rabbi Moshe Halberstam, zt’l (1924–2011), late Kiviashder Rebbe in Williamsburg.

Mere days before two envoys from U.S. President Donald Trump were to arrive in the region to continue their pursuit of the elusive, “ultimate deal” for peace between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, the PA government in Ramallah named yet another square after a terrorist.

The newly inaugurated “Martyr Khaled Nazzal Square,” is named after the terror leader who planned the attack that led to the murder of 22 children and four adults in the Ma’alot Massacre on May 15, 1974. This is just the latest example of the Palestinian Authority’s relentless glorification of terrorists.

This new square in Jenin is named after terrorist Khaled Nazzal, the Secretary of the Central Committee of the Democratic Front for Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), and commander of its military branch.

Nazzal was responsible for the Ma’alot Massacre, during which terrorists took school children and their teachers as hostages, and eventually murdered 22 children and four adults.

Terrorist Nazzal also planned an attack which resulted in the murder of four hostages in an apartment in Beit She’an (Nov. 11, 1974), and a shooting and grenade attack in central Jerusalem in which one person was murdered and 47 others were wounded (April 2, 1984).

The “Martyr Khaled Nazzal Square” was inaugurated on this past Thursday (June 15, 2017) at a rally with Palestinian Authority officials, “under the auspices of the Jenin District and the [Jenin] municipality.” Participants included the Deputy District Governor of the Jenin District, and the DFLP in Jenin. Deputy Mayor of Jenin Mahmoud Abu Mweis spoke at the event and “emphasized that our leadership and our people will continue on the path of the Martyrs.” [Jeningate, independent Palestinian Authority news website, June 15, 2017]

On the monument to the terrorist Nazzal at the new “Martyr Khaled Nazzal Square” in Jenin, the text read:“Martyr Khaled Nazzal Square“We must guard the flowers of the Martyrs (quote from song by Palestinian Authority poet Mahmoud Darwish)“1948-1986, for a free Palestine”

Crazy ... isn't it? .... Reuters has a SHIT'ah that it never uses the word "terrorist" when it comes to Arab Muslims beheading and murdering Jews and Christians ....but today I noticed that they had no problem using the word "terrorist" when a guy drove his van into some Arabs!I noticed something else ...usually when Arabs kill, you have to wait days to find out what the nationality of the murderer is? It takes months sometimes to find the "motive."This morning I found out the nationality, race and his motive ...all in one full sweep within the hour.Also when an Arab murders, the media writes "alleged" but notice in the article below...... nothing is "alleged" .... its all fact !from Reuters (red letters by DIN)"A van plowed into worshippers near a London mosque in the early hours of Monday, injuring 10 people, two of them seriously, in what Prime Minister Theresa May said was a sickening, terrorist attack on Muslims.The vehicle swerved into a group of mainly North and West African people shortly after midnight as they left prayers at the Muslim Welfare House and the nearby Finsbury Park Mosque in north London, one of the biggest in Britain.The driver, a 47-year-old white man, was grabbed at the scene by locals and pinned down until police arrived.The man was not named by police. He was held on suspicion of attempted murder which was later extended to preparing or instigating terrorism, including murder and attempted murder.After being seized, he said he had wanted to kill "many Muslim people," one witness told journalists.Now read in the very same article and notice that when it comes to Arabs, Reuters omits the word "terrorists" and replaces it with the word "militants"The latest incident took place just over two weeks after three Islamist militants drove into pedestrians on London Bridge and stabbed people at nearby restaurants and bars, killing eight..A suicide bombing at a pop concert in Manchester, northern England, in May also killed 22 people, while in March, a man drove a rented car into pedestrians on Westminster Bridge in London and stabbed a policeman to death before being shot dead. Five people were killed in that attack.

Mrs. Chana Horowitz A”H was identified as the 46-year-old chareidi woman who fell to her death from a Jerusalem Ramada Hotel room.

Baruch Dayan Emmes: Mrs. Chana Horowitz A”H, 46, the mother of eight, fell to her death from the Jerusalem Ramada Hotel on Monday morning 25 Sivan 5777. When EMS units arrived, they found her in traumatic arrest.

It is reported that today is her father’s fourth yahrzeit, Rav Shlomo Alexander HaKohen Davidovich z”l. Adding to the family’s tragedy R”L, is the petira of her brother Rav Menachem Davidovich last Shabbos.

The nifteres’ husband is Belzer Chossid Rav Asher Horowitz, who publishes the weekly “דעה ברורה” Torah sheet on daily halacha. Mrs. Horowitz was employed by Mishpacha Magazine, and she was an editor of the ‘בתוך המשפחה’ Magazine.

She is survived by her husband and eight children, most still not married.

The levaya began at 5:00PM from Sanhedria in Yerushalayim via the main Belz Beis Medrash to Har Menuchos for kvura.
